Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This whole kerfuffle seems so stupid. Biden didn't take any memory tests, didn't get evaluated by a psychiatrist or any memory experts, and nobody authoritative on the topic of memory or brain function was involved.
A fair and accurate headline would have been "Republican lawyer thinks Biden is senile." A republican has that opinion? Stop the fucking presses
He doesn't think Biden is senile, he even said Biden has a near photographic memory dealing with the House. Hur misrepresented the truth then pretends the "I don't recall" defense is not the most common defense used in interviews with feds.
An accurate headline would have been: Member of ratfucker party tried to ratfuck Biden.
Even that title would be inaccurate. He just used the situation to lie that he thinks Biden is senile to hurt Biden's chances of getting elected again. It's a blatant violation of ethics.
The only way out of this is education. This drivel is maddening. Human minds are as wasted and polluted as the environment.
I've long been advocating for the Democratic party to adopt a Teacher's classroom mindset. Think about what Bernie, Warren, and Porter did in basically elevating the understanding of civics, history, and current-events of our country.
Use all donation money to just honestly spoonfeed Americans vital information one bite-size ad at a time.
Even “liberal” media in the US loves Trump and will print anything that might further the close race narrative, regardless of veracity.
Trump gets eyeballs on news, which directly leads to ad revenue. US media is addicted to Trump as a means of selling ad space and would gladly let the country burn down for a few extra ad sales.
Nice little write up on that Here
It's fortunate that most voters find him so repulsive now that a bigger presence in the news seems to be bad for Trump nowadays.
I miss the days when he was just the guy that hosted the apprentice show and was know for the catch phrase "you're fired". Simpler times
